Billboard review for week
ending 5/5/79
The veteran rock act goes disco on its Elektra debut with Moroder
producing in one of his first product releases since winning the Oscar.
Moroder also engineered, plays synthesizer and co-wrote four of the
six cuts with group members Russell and Ron Mael. Russell Mael's lead
vocals contrast effectively with the futuristic, space age pop sound
that characterizes much of Moroder's approach. This LP was recorded
in part at Moroder's Musicland Studios in Munich.
Best cuts: "Academy Award Performance," "Tryouts For The
Human Race," "La Dolce Vita," "The No. 1 Song In Heaven."
